Latin American History


Graduate Student
B.A. Brandeis University, M.A. University of Connecticut

Hours:

Advisor: David Rock

Though broadly interested in the modern history of Argentina and Mexico, my research focuses more specifically on the widespread conflict resulting from the privatization of Argentina's university system. I approach this topic by delving into Argentine student movements from the 1950s through the 1970s in a world context.
